Red Sox - 012 010 200 - 6 11 2Kevin Youkilis hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning and Jonathan Papelbon nailed down the win with a 1-2-3 ninth.
Orioles - 003 002 000 - 5 9 0
Smoltz could not hold a 3-0 lead (David Ortiz clocked a two-run dong in the third) and Baltimore tied it right away. Jacoby Ellsbury whacked a solo shot to start the fifth and he was on board when Yook went yard two innings later. LBJ was 3-for-5 with two singles, a homer, 2 runs scored, an RBI, a stolen base and a dong-robbing catch on Luke Scott to end the Orioles sixth.
Yook singled twice in addition to his homer. ... Josh Reddick (#68) made his major league debut when he pinch-hit for Rocco Baldelli to lead off the top of the ninth. He grounded out to shortstop on a 0-1 pitch and played RF for the bottom of the inning. ... The 5-6-7-8-9 spots in the Red Sox order went 2-for-16.
Smoltz (6-8-5-0-2, 87) was relieved by Ramon Ramirez (1B, F7, E1, 5U, 6-4), Hideki Okajima (K, BB, BB, PF3, L1) and Bot (K, F8, K).
John Smoltz (7.04, 66 ERA+) / Jeremy Guthrie (5.21, 88 ERA+)Boston is currently 2.5 GB New York. Yankees/White Sox at 8 PM.
Check out the very last sentence in this ESPN story on Victor Martinez:But a bigger deal, for Toronto ace Roy Halladay, fell apart when Boston refused to part with both Buchholz and reliever Daniel Bard.
One other story from last week worth noting: Kevin Youkilis had three friends who committed suicide when he was young and his Hits for Kids foundation is raising money for Riverside Trauma Center and its efforts to prevent youth suicide.

Let's put these asswipes in their place!
We can be a half-game up by Sunday night. I know that's a lot to ask. But I will hope for the best possible outcome.
Plus we're going from Baltimore to Tampa to the Toilet. A lot of ground can be made or lost on this trip.
But a bigger deal, for Toronto ace Roy Halladay, fell apart when Boston refused to part with both Buchholz and reliever Daniel Bard.
Cool.
Reminds me of the Santana non-deal. Sox didn't want to give up both HH and Lester. Good thing.
But Mr. Buchholz has to keep up his end of the deal and make us happy to not have traded him. :)
Roster moves (likely for tonight only):
RHP Marcus McBeth and OF Josh Reddick will be available tonight.
***
Bard & McBeth in the same pen!
The All Shakespeare team! I'm pretty sure we once did one of these - a Benjamin special.
All I can come up with off the top of my head is Frank Viola, but I'm sure there are plenty of other minor characters.
Well, fuck me.
Rogers is showing motherfucking DARTS -- and Gary Thorne In My Ear is on EI, along with Buck "Nasal Nose" Martinez.
Win.
Lyndon says FUCK DUH OHs.
Where oh where have all the streaming live baseball sites gone? Anybody have a clue?
BTW, I think the oddest deal today by far is Peavy getting dealt to the other Sox. Again.
Folding laundry - see you all later.
Ofer I bet MLB got to them. They were there, then they weren't! Fail.
Allan, it's Don and DR on NESN so it's not a whole lot better.
Ofer I bet MLB got to them. They were there, then they weren't! Fail.
Yeah, figures. That's what happens when these things get too famous, I guess. Well, next week there's like 4 games on Fox and ESPN, maybe I'll buy MLBtv for a month right after that.
I am watching on mute now. L will bring down Castig/O'B later.
Plus I fear OB's roid talk.
Mute is the best option tonight.
Smoltz avoids 2-out trouble by getting outs 2 and 3 on the same play.
They're talking roids right now. Got O'B and Castig on. I love Obie but his love of controversy really annoys me.
Dear Mr. Bay: Pls start hitting again.
kthxbye
Castig: "The pitch is low ball one. I mean ball four."
Mr. Bay: Will do!
"As soon as I stop walking!"
Rx!
Now we need some Tek-x!
Castig, on Tek: "He certainly is banged up..."
I feel like there should be a Heidi joke there. But those are reserved for Mr. Green these days.
Tek needs to show Tito he shouldn't bench him once Martinez gets here.
Hot damn. Sacks packed and nobody out.
we need a hairless salami dong from rico.
Loaded. Go for the throat, Baldy.
Castig just told me J.D. Drew has a strained groin.
special thanks to sosock for loudly yelling out "sweaty dong!" with yook up last tuesday! it got laughs!
Travis...Dinker? DFA'd from the minor league system.
I didn't hear that! I heard Joe, of course, talking some sweat.
I do hope to see some greek sausage from the Professor of Perspiration tonight.
so we'll never type "dinker dong"?
it's a sad day.
Hahaha that was a STUPID throw. My cat could throw more accurately than that.
now *that* was a shitty throw.
1-0
No more masturbate and no dinker dongs.
Sad day indeed.
Fuck ass stupid cock back who the fuck is this guy calling him out?? What the fucking fuck banana hammock?
BULL SHIT CALL
BULL SHIT, I TELLS YA!
I think I meant to say cock bag. It's all a blur now.
Fuck ass stupid cock back who the fuck is this guy calling him out??
Jeff Kellogg.
LBJ musta pissed in his corn flakes.
BTW, it's one thing to trade away Master, but couldn't they have thrown in Bates, too?
wtf w/ that call. lbj obviously safe. fuck.
LOL greek sausage
but what is a dinker dong?
still folding, will be back in a bit for the answer.
That baseball pissed in Jacoby's corn flakes.
"Bard & McBeth in the same pen!"
LOL immediately thought of you guys when I heard about that particular move :)
Not sure about the trades today but go Sox!
At this rate, Smoltz will pitch 6 shutout innings with 6 DPs.
yeah even the (vomit-inducingly bad) Orioles Announcers admitted Ells was safe on that play L-Girl. Horrible call!
GREEN LIGHT!! BIG BLACK FATHERLY DONG!
QUADRANGUFUCKIN'LAR!!!!!
PAPI DONG!!!!!!!
Rice and beans!
"Bard & McBeth in the same pen!"
LOL immediately thought of you guys when I heard about that particular move :)
Excellent! :)
We're stuck with MASN tonight, but I'm keeping Red Sox radio on my computer. Can't listen to these guys. No way.
Yeah Pspi!
Papi's fucking pissed. I like it.
Castig: this time he really was out
Truped by Obie.
Oh man, Doc was robbed.
we're tagging this doosh.
let's put him in street clothes by 8:30.
Rice and Beans, that's my new favourite dong call.
nice play smoltz.
thanks for the out, kirk.
Scrotum? In the third? Really?
Why do we have to watch these three bozos standing and chattering instead of THE GAME???
Nothing wrong with showing a little scrotum early in a game.
but that's andy mcphail (/hushedtones)
What the fuck is this, Tuesday night?
green is having a rough week.
asshole.
fucking green. i blame lugo.
fuckety fuck
green is in the twilight of his career, which peaked a few months ago.
FUCK DUH O'S
fuck 'em with a flag pole
Fuckwad Smoltz. Throwing a fucking meatball. Fuck.
terry arguing?!?!
smoltz didn't drill that fucker hard enough in the 1st.
Well, isn't that just fucking great...
While they're at it, could they look at the replay of Ellsbury's infield hit?
That's a dong. Fuck this. I'm going to the gym.
Damnit Green and Smoltz pissing away the lead :(
Is there any chance it wasn't a dong? Where was the ball?
smoltz going with the 1-out rally tonight.
Obie: "The umpires went into the little umpire room."
Is that unisex or something? I have to go to the Little Umpire's room.
Sky just turned red here as I walk out the door.
looked like it was over the wall on the wall/scoreboard thing on the replay they showed on this channel :(
wtf could these three masn jackholes still be yapping about?
Exactly how much slack is Smoltz going to get based on his past accomplishments? *sigh*
when wake returns, maybe smoltz will be our long man.
Sorry Smoltz but see that bowl of dicks over there?
Bon apetit.
okay red sox, i'm not at this game. feel free to score a bushel of runs.
Sorry Smoltz but see that bowl of dicks over there?
Truly LOL!
(Cue Louis CK's bit about sucking a bag of dicks)
"when wake returns, maybe smoltz will be our long man."
That is exactly what I'm hoping.
Red Sox scored plenty of runs when we saw them this week. There was just the little problem of how many they gave up.
that was low, fuckface
See what Guthrie did there, Smoltz? Why don't you try being more like him, eh?
(That sentence should never be directed at anyone, but hell...)
NYY game has started in Chicago
L is scoreboard watching.
It's on!
Green? See how Yook fields? Can't you be more like him?
MFY and FKR both with 2-run leads, at the moment.
Oh yeah, it's after the break, I'm watching.
those mf-ers just started, they have 2 runs?
Geez, that was fast. I heard the NYY game was scoreless 10 seconds ago.
No, three runs.
i am pretty sure it's runs time.
DREAMBOAT DONG!!!
THAT'S MY BOY!!!!
showing me his dong!
Let's pile on here.
I like stepping out of the room to attend to something, returning, seeing Pedroia's up, seeing no one's on base, and seeing there's still no out.
fy totally dead on that cs.
ok papi, shut them up again
dumb to run.
let's go flo.
masn showing balt fans booing flo.
seems they have forgotten about tejada -- plus the roid user they have playing 2b EVERY NIGHT.
bay hacking, bah
masn showing balt fans booing flo.
seems they have forgotten about tejada -- plus the roid user they have playing 2b EVERY NIGHT.
Exactly like Red Sox fans booing A-Rod, Clemens, etc.
It's what we all do.
we boo clemens for so many non-drug different reasons.
Well not Clemens. He gets booed no matter what. Substitute another steroid user there.
Same with S. McB.
Heh, we posted that at the same time.
Explain away all you want, my point remains. Opposing fans are going to boo Ortiz, Red Sox fans are going to boo other users, it just goes around.
I preferred how Bay was hitting before he got his USian citizenship.
79 thru 5 for smoltz.
he should be able to give us 7.
though after we get 17 runs this inning, tito may decide to go to the pen.
79 thru 5 for smoltz.
he should be able to give us 7.
I'm agreeing, but at the same time I'd have MDC up behind him in case he runs out of gas.
yes, assuming his innings are clean
I preferred how Bay was hitting before he got his USian citizenship.
A woman sitting behind me on Weds was explaining to her daughter how Bay is from Toronto.
I couldn't resist explaining to her how Canada and Toronto are not the same thing.
British Columbia is a kind of Toronto, isn't it?
Was that the same idiot who was saying that one things you must do when you go to Fenway is sing "Sweet Carolina"?
Well, maybe with this OTT at least we'll see Guthrie for the seventh. A man can hope, no?
British Columbia is a kind of Toronto, isn't it?
I didn't want to confuse her by saying BC. I just said he was from the west coast. She appeared to know that Canada has a west coast.
Was that the same idiot who was saying that one things you must do when you go to Fenway is sing "Sweet Carolina"?
She said there are 3 things you have to do at Fenway: throw beach balls, do the wave and sing Sweet Carolina.
Sadly, shutting up and watching the game were not on her list. She talked incessantly.
Man, GDGD has been missing the first batter every fucking inning. Every time when the pitcher and hitter change, there's already one out or someone on base.
FUCK
after markakis misses a dong by 2 inches, huff jacks his own dong to center.
Ram Ram up
Yep... there's that running out of gas thing. I've been patient so far, but I'm about ready to give up on Smoltz (not that my opinion really matters at all, but, you know...)
PRAISE FUCKJIN JEEBUS!!!!!!!!!
OMG THAT'S MY BOY AGAIN
smoltz you owe him big time!!!
I am quite tired of the Geico cavemen.
smoltz at 87 - pull the plug, tito.
***
isn't it always the case that the guy who makes the great play to end the inning is up second in the next inning?
masn is being pretty stingy with replays of lbj's catch.
fuck hugh, guthrie
Thanks the baseball gods for Jacoby and Papi
i'd like to request a laser, pls.
Isn't Aubrey Huff the player who ragged on JtC's fist pump?
LBJ is as hot as possible.
Oh, and if Smoltz comes out for the 7th, I will seriously question Tito's sanity.
yes -- to the pump
isn't it always the case that the guy who makes the great play to end the inning is up second in the next inning?
They don't really say this anymore, do they? (I mean the thing you're spoofing.) You used to hear it all the time.
Isn't Aubrey Huff the player who ragged on JtC's fist pump?
He is, but that's no excuse for donging against the Sox.
yes to the sanity too
He is, but that's no excuse for donging against the Sox.
Agreed. It just makes me not completely hate him.
they don't say it - or only in jest - it has really died off.
everyone is pitching yook up and in these days -- he ain't adjusting well.
Come on, Yook, take the lead before the Guthrie runs out...
SWEAT POWER!!!!!!!!!
SULTAN OF SWEAT
CIRCUMNAVIGATING CIRCUMCISION
Yook: "how's that ofer?"
Hahahaha, that works.
everyone is pitching yook up and in these days -- he ain't adjusting well.
Yook says FU Allan!
that one was not up and in!!!!!
CIRCUMNAVIGATING CIRCUMCISION
!!!!!
YOUK!
hey flo: hitbuh thisbuh ragbuh armbuh.
omg papi :(
godfuckingdamnit
This game=anti-pitchers' duel. The guy who sucks slightly less wins.
ramram in
Red and White Sox with the 1-run leads. Keep it that way, bullpen.
Papi you are *awesome* in your own way but you are *not* Jacoby! Kthnx!
smoltz era rises from 7.04 to 7.12.
OK Guy who was once mistaken for Pedro. Pitch like he used to please.
NYY score? I can't open any extra tabs right now.
MFY: 30
CWS: 13
CWS 4 - MFY 3
Radio guys talking about how much Ram Ram and others will miss the Donkey.
Fucking hell, Ramirez.
thanks! go all soxes!
oh geez, what was that.
jeemer gettin busy
joe castiglione is ready to adopt justin masterson. he loves him so much.
is don talking about missing mrs. donkey's cookies?
Oh lord, Green's Knoblauch-itis is contagious
is don talking about missing mrs. donkey's cookies?
Hmm. I don't think he should admit that on TV.
Pedro does his part. I'm not worried about the 8th, but the 9th? Oh yeah.
is don talking about missing mrs. donkey's cookies?
Alternate response: Cookies? Is that what you're calling it now?
You never realize how much you miss inconsistent mediocre young pitching until it's gone.
don is all about the food, though eck was likely staring at her cookies when she was in the booth.
Dave Roberts: "Mike Lowell has a good at bat."
One pitch double play. WTF Dave?
You never realize how much you miss inconsistent mediocre young pitching until it's gone.
Fortunately, there is an inexhaustible supply of it.
Dave Roberts: "Mike Lowell has a good at bat."
Diamond Dave, what a guy!
I'm just sorry Masterson has to start wearing a racist uniform.
inexhaustible supply
Blackadder reference?
"Dave Roberts: "Mike Lowell has a good at bat."
One pitch double play. WTF Dave?"
LOL....
Pale Hose 5-3.
I'm just sorry Masterson has to start wearing a racist uniform.
Especially considering he's Mr Diversity (according to Joe Castig).
Slack bladder, indeed.
Oh that was Allan. Of course it was a Blackadder ref. I thought it was Ofer.
never mind...........
Didn't Masterson grow up in Ohio? Someone at SoSH said that, thought maybe this would be a good non-Sox team for him.
yeah jeemer!
